Hey guys, so today I wanted to mess around and see what all the fuss was about with Travis Kelce’s 40-yard dash time. I’ve heard a bunch of different things, and honestly, it’s kinda hard to nail down the real number. So, I decided to do some digging myself. It is not easy, but finally, I got it.
First off, I started by looking up his official NFL Combine results. It turns out, Kelce didn’t even do the 40-yard dash at the Combine. The reason is not mentioned, but he didn’t participate in it. That threw a wrench in things right from the start. I’m like, “Okay, so where do I go from here?” I mean, he is a famous NFL player. It shouldn’t be that hard. But, it is.
Searching for Answers
Next, I started checking out some articles and forums. I saw some people saying he ran it at his Pro Day, and there were some numbers floating around. Some say it’s 4.63, and some say it’s 4.61. But, nothing is official. Then I found a few articles talking about him being compared to other tight ends, like this one guy, Culp, who ran a 4.47 at the 2024 Combine. People were saying Kelce’s time was around 4.63, but again, nothing concrete. I even saw that, similar to Kelce, Isaiah Likely also didn’t participate in the 40-yard dash at his NFL Combine. So, he may have the same problem as Travis.
I even tried to find some videos or interviews where Kelce might have mentioned his 40 time. No luck there either. It’s like everyone knows he’s fast and a great player, but the exact 40 time is some big secret. I just want a real number. I kept looking, and looking, and looking. And then…
Finally Got It
After that, I dug into some more specialized forums and fan pages. I figured maybe some hardcore fans might have the inside scoop. Finally, I found a few discussions where people were talking about Kelce’s Pro Day. There it was a more consistent number: 4.61 seconds. Several people mentioned they saw it reported on some sports sites back when he was coming out of college. It’s not the Combine, but it’s something!
So, what did I learn from this little adventure? Well, first off, getting accurate sports stats can be a real pain. Secondly, Travis Kelce is fast, and even without an official Combine 40 time, everyone agrees he’s one of the best tight ends out there. It’s clear that his speed is just one part of what makes him so good.
Anyway, that’s my story of trying to track down Travis Kelce’s 40 time. I wouldn’t say I am 100% sure, but I am 90% confident right now. Hope you guys found this interesting. Let me know in the comments if you have any other info on this!
